Harry Potter: Veracity and Maelstrom (COMPLETED/ENDED)

Toni


Toni didn't react to the words. "If either of us were smart, we'd give up and find someone who would notice us. But I'm a hopeless idiot, and you fell for the girl that everyone wants." Toni looked back into the dormitories and saw Alex lie down with Eliza. "Look at them. How could we be so selfish to try to break them up? Alex has had a shitty life, he deserves happiness. With his mother and sister..." Toni sighed, turning her gaze to the floor. "And I don't."

Another humorless chuckle left Mark's throat. "If I was smarter, I would have had a better life. Instead I choose to be an idiot, and that's the life I'm living. There's a reason I fell for Eliza, I'm not giving up just yet." He sighed, noting the adorable couple above them, a burst of anger shutting the door. It wasn't odd, wizards could use magic with strong emotions without wands, and if there was a strong emotion, it was anger and heartbreak. "You deserve happiness, everyone deserves happiness." Except me. He didn't voice his last thought, refusing to dwell on it. He wasn't an idiot, he saw how people looked at him, how people talked about him. And then Eliza swept into his life, offering to help him with that adorable smile on her face. He was smitten, and he didn't care. She was the first person who had truly been kind to him, who had tried to be his friend. And she was the closest thing he had to a friend, even if they weren't friends.

Not sure if it was the right thing to do, Toni reached over and gripped Mark's hand. "I'm rooting for you. Not because of Alex, because I know he'll never choose me. But because you do deserve it. If it meant Alex never looks at me again, I hope you get her." She offered. "Thanks for the emotional support, Mark." Toni smiled warmly at him, wishing she could ease his pain somehow.
 
"Some room." Evelyn waved off her question dismissively. "Secrets, or whatever." She wasn't about to snitch on her first friend, no matter how oddly he was acting. "Anyway, what happened? Everyone was freaking out, but I didn't hear anything."


Eliza smiled lazily, her eyes shutting as she hummed softly. "And I...don't wanna lose you. I would...take the killing...curse for you. You would...do the same...don't lie." One of her hands drifted up, laying softly on Alex's. "I would...do it again. Anyday."
 
ALEX


"You caught me. But don't." Alex said sternly, resting his head and closing his eyes, he couldn't force himself to sleep, too much going on in his head.
 
JENNA


She chuckled at the first year "Well some room can be anywhere in this damned castle now... " she sigged "Can't really help you there" she halted as she said secret... did she mean the girls bathroom where that horrid moaning myrtle was... or maybe the room of requirmemt.... he shrugged it off, couldnt possiblt
 
"Don't worry about me, worry about yourself." Mark smiled at her, returning her grip. "I know I can't get Eliza. And I know I'm repeating myself, but trust me, you shouldn't give up. Just because the future looks hopeless, doesn't mean you shouldn't try for a better tomorrow." He nodded at her, drawing his hand back slightly, before pulling her back into a hug, softly whispering, "And if you want to get Alex, do yourself a favor. Don't let him see you with me, he hates my guts. And I hate him." He shrugged, moving to get off the couch now that he knew Toni was alright. "I've survived without friends, I'll be fine. Keep fighting, you'll get a happy ending yet." He turned and left, moving to his own dorm and climbing beneath the sheets, shutting his eyes as he felt the sharp prick of tears under his eyelids. No. He wouldn't worry about the past. He had promised that he would keep trying to get a better future, and that wasn't going to stop now becuase he told his stupid sob story to a girl. She deserved happiness, he didn't. But he wouldn't stop trying. He refused.
 
Toni


"You know what, fuck Alex." Toni said to herself. A small weight lighted from her chest. "I don't need him. Fuck him. He can have Eliza, or Mark can. I don't care." She growled, feeling instantly better. "He's a dick anyways." She was just glad she hadn't gone into detail about Alex's life to Mark. That wasn't her business to tell. She marched squarely up to the girl's dormitory and fell onto her bed. "Fuck Alex." She said one last time.
 
Azra'el talking about the basilisk "haunting isn't it." He made his way towards the statue of Salazar Slytherin as he did so he did not pay attention to the ground he accidentally stepped into knee high water, it was freezing cold "Holy Shite! that is cold! I think this is our first obstical." motioning towards the murky water.

Eliza hummed again, before noticing Alex not sleeping. She sighed, before she began to sing softly. "


The valley green was so serene


In the middle ran a stream so blue...


A maiden fair, in despair, once had met her true love there and she told him...


She would say...


"Promise me, when you see, a white rose you'll think of me


I love you so,


Never let go,


I will be your ghost of a rose..."


Her eyes believed in mysteries


She would lay amongst the leaves of amber


Her spirit wild, heart of a child, yet gentle still and quiet and mild and he loved her...


When she would say...


"Promise me, when you see, a white rose you'll think of me


I love you so,


Never let go,


I will be your ghost of a rose..."


When all was done, she turned to run


Dancing to the setting sun as he watched her


And ever more he thought he saw


A glimpse of her upon the moors forever


He'd hear her say...


"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me


I love you so,


Never let go,


I will be your ghost of a rose..."


She trailed off, her sweet voice fading as she sighed.

Ruger looked around the room,


"I'm pretty sure this is the main room." He said, looking at the water, and seeing if there is any other way to get around it.


"I don't think this water is supposed to be here." He sighed heavily


"It's flooded."


"Well, at least that's the only thing I can think of."


As he try's to look for another route

"It's a muggle band I used to listen to." She spoke up, realizing that as long as she kept her voice soft, she could speak normally. "Maybe, since you can't sleep, we can use this time to get to know each other?"
 
Evelyn nodded, her eyes roaming the room before settling back on Jenna's face. "Seriously, what's going on? Not answering is kind of freaking me out."
 
Jenna


She crossed her arms and sighed "There was a girl who was fatally injured by a curse, it was done by another student in Hogwarts... or else it is assumed... that's what i saw at least" she sighed as she slouched down on an armchair, lifting her feet on the table.
 
Evelyn's hand flew up to her mouth. "Oh my god, is she okay? What happened? Who was it?"
 
"Well I guess our first goal is to make this place livable." He said spying a few steel fire hanging pits he aimed his wand at one one and said "Nox... here goes nothing... Incendio!" as he cast the spell he slipped back from the burst of fire that came from the wand. He almost fell flat on his ass but was able to catch himself. "okay" he mutter preparing for the next one and when he cast it there was no whiplash and then he continued to light them. As he did so the room came alive with a dancing orange light. "Now the pudd-I mean lake in the middle of this floor." He chuckled a little.

Jenna


She sighed "Our headgirl, Eliza," she couldnt get the picture of that cpbra sliding off right under her nose. "I hope that she will be, Professor Darx looked her up, she should be fine"
 
"As long as she is okay. What spell was used?" Evelyn sat down in a chair next to Jenna's, knowing she was prying but someone was hurt, damn it! "Professor Darx is amazing, I'm surprised he hasn't alerted us yet or questioned us."
 
Ruger scratched his head, thinking back to when he read about a spell that could evaporate water. He thought to himself for a little while, the he remembered it was a charm. He didn't have to speak it but he did anyway so Azra'el could learn it. He pointed his wand at the flooded room and whispered


"Exaresco." As the water in front of them began to become less and less, as the bridge type ground to the platform began to slowly be revealed.


He turned to Az, "I uh, learned that in a book somewhere. Forgot exactly where though. Maybe I should slow down on the reading so I can remember where I learn my spells." He chuckled, putting his wand away.


"What now?" He asked Az curiously, as he begins to walk towards the middle of the room.


@Locklaklazarii
 
She hummed "Cruciatus curse" she bluntly said as she started toying with her wand between her fingers "why would Darx question us?"
 
"To find out who did it, I mean, the slytherin house is the biggest suspect, not that I don't love it here." Her eyes widened. "Does the Headmistress know?!"
 
JENNA


"What do I look like? The newspaper?" She said grumpily, she didnt quite like questions nor people but she was tired and she gets snappy when tired "I don't know... but whoever it is.. it was a Slytherin I know it..." she got up and streched "now off to bed kid, lessons tomorrow and its late" woth that the fiery red head made her way towards the zixth year girl dorms.
